A Geeky Viewpoint

A Casting Call sheet fro Wham! (codename for the Deadpool Movie) was posted online the other day.   Wham! is the name of Wade Wilson's favorite band in the comics by the way.

[RIDGE] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous, violent, vain, insecure and more than a bit of a dick.... but with a sense of humor. He is not a psychopath, he's practical but morally neutral-he doesn't enjoy torturing people, he just doesn't care. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.

[LINDSAY] Any ethnicity, 20s, attractive and worldly. Smart, tough, beautiful but a little bit broken. Nothing has ever been easy for her and she's developed a thick skin and cynical outlook. But she's not a victim-she may not have a great life but she's holding it together and does what she needs to get by. She's got a great sense of humor but it leans heavily towards irony and sarcasm. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.

[SIMON] Any ethnicity, late 20s to early 40s. Quirky, great sense of humor. Smart, funny, but more than a little bit slippery. Fast talker, always looking to make a buck. He looks out for himself first and foremost, but reveals loyalty at the end of the day. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SEQUEL OPTIONS.

[SHIRLIE] African American, late 60s to early 80s. Worldly, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, dry, funny. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.

[KATHY] Any ethnicity, early to mid teens. World weary, great sense of comedic timing, sarcastic, droll sense of humor. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS.

[KEREN] Any ethnicity, early 20s to late 30s. Serious, big, tough. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS

[ALBERT] Any ethnicity, early 30s to early 50s. Big, muscular, dangerous. ROLE REQUIRES THREE SERIES OPTIONS

Ridge sounds like T-Ray the are variations on who T-Ray is, maybe the original Wade Wilson, longtime antagonist of Deadpool.   Believed that Ed Skrein has already signed on for this part.

Lindsay sounds like Domino a female mercenary who's story story of being breed by a super secret US Government program has crossed paths with Deadpool multiple times.

Simon sounds like Weasel Deadpool's Arms dealer.   It is assume that TJ Miller has signed on to play this part. 

Shirlie sounds a lot like Blind Al, the woman who Deadpool keeps as a hostage as he uses her house as a base of operations.

Kathy is one that has me scratching my head, no clue, maybe a character created specifically for the movie.

Keren is probably Angle Dust, Gina Carano has already been cast and announced.   Angel Dust is a mutant who can control the amount of adrenaline in her body giving her short bursts of speed and strength. 

Albert could be many characters but Ajax comes to mind as a Weapon X hunter.
